Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi – A Nostalgic Trip Back to Dinosaur Land
For those of us who grew up with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Super Mario World holds a special place in our hearts. It was a game that redefined platforming, introduced us to the adorable and endlessly helpful Yoshi, and cemented Mario’s status as a true gaming icon.
If you have back issues like many of us older gamers, there’s a good chance Super Mario World was your entry point into the series. This 1,215-piece Lego set, depicting Mario in his iconic yellow cape riding on Yoshi’s back, is a pure shot of nostalgia. The design perfectly captures the essence of the game, and the brick-built versions of Mario and Yoshi are simply delightful.
What makes this set truly special is the attention to detail. Lego has masterfully translated the pixelated world of Super Mario World into a tactile and engaging building experience. The set even includes a handle that you can turn to simulate Yoshi’s run, and a dial that makes his tongue pop in and out, just like in the game! It’s a testament to Lego’s dedication to authenticity, right down to Yoshi’s quirky orange arms, a detail that many might forget but that true fans will instantly recognize.
Available for $130, the Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi set is a must-have for any fan of the game or the franchise. It’s a beautiful display piece, a fun and engaging build, and a reminder of the magic that Super Mario World brought to our childhoods.
Mario Kart: Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo Kart – Double Dash Delight!
Mario Kart has always been a staple of party gaming, and Mario Kart: Double Dash for the Nintendo GameCube took the series to a whole new level with its unique character-swapping mechanics and chaotic multiplayer action. The Mario Kart: Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo Kart Lego set is a loving tribute to this beloved entry in the franchise.
This set features Donkey Kong and his signature DK Jumbo Kart, the very same kart he drove to victory in Double Dash. What’s even cooler is that if you already own Lego Mario, Lego Luigi, or Lego Peach from the compatible sets sold separately, you can place one of them behind the wheel while Donkey Kong hangs onto the back, recreating the iconic Double Dash tandem driving experience.
The kart itself is packed with features, including sound and visual effects that are activated when an interactive figure is connected to the seat. The set also includes smaller accessories, like a banana peel and red and green shells, adding to the authenticity and playability. And just like in the game, you can even launch the shells from the DK Jumbo Kart, aiming for the included target.
For just $35, the Mario Kart: Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo Lego set is an absolute steal. It’s a fun and action-packed set that captures the excitement and competitive spirit of Mario Kart, and it’s a great addition to any Super Mario Lego collection.
Piranha Plant – A Botanical Brute for Your Display Shelf
Lego’s Botanical Collection has become incredibly popular with adults, offering a sophisticated and relaxing building experience that results in beautiful and display-worthy floral arrangements. The Piranha Plant Lego set takes that concept and gives it a mischievous Mario twist.
While technically a Lego flower set, this Piranha Plant is based on the iconic sentient enemy from the Mario games, a creature that’s known for its bite and its penchant for popping out of pipes. The 390-piece set makes for a wonderful display piece, adding a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to any room.
The Piranha Plant is highly posable, allowing you to create a variety of different looks. It’s set in a buildable green pipe, adding to the authenticity and charm. The set also includes two coin elements, and the reason for their inclusion is something you’ll have to discover for yourself during the build.
At $60, the Piranha Plant Lego set is a unique and eye-catching addition to any Lego collection. It’s a perfect blend of Lego’s Botanical Collection and the world of Super Mario, making it a great gift for adults and older kids alike.
